They taking all that lime that came in on 335 yesterday? Train had so many lime cars it looked more like K905 with some freight tacked on the end.

Z151-11 dropped off 5 cars at Vans in Walker. They had 6, but there wasnt enough room in the track. (5 flats, 1 box). Had cars for MI Rail, but due to their train makeup, they highballed Comstock Park. With the 3003, 2676, and 3002 screaming in Notch 8, they crawled up the hill in CP. 120 cars, started on the hill at 0530, cleared 7 mile at 0547. Apparent plan was to take MI Rail cars to either Sparta or Grant for setting out tonight on 151-12. As a spectator for many months, I have to say, the crew did an amazing job getting that train up the hill without problems. Nice job guys.
